I wouldn't bother. If they're this simple and loud about whatever they think they comprehend of evolution and natural selection concepts, you know them and their cat are ironically nature's food in the first 48 hours detached from society's teet. Lucky for them, we keep getting better at keeping the weakest around. Mike Judge does a good film about it.

All of Oceania is this. There's a lot of unique land animals that evolved with no threat. European colonisation really fucked that entire region and the ecosystems within.

On average, each roaming, hunting pet cat kills more than three animals every week. The numbers add up. On average, over a year each roaming and hunting pet cat in Australia kills 186 animals. This number includes 110 native animals (40 reptiles, 38 birds and 32 mammals).

That's for Australia's 3.7M pet cats that aren't kept indoors 24/7. So that's approx 407M native animals killed each year by cat lovers that don't responsibly take care of their cat—71% of cat owners. Factor in other contamination and habitat destruction, you can expect that to be closer or even over half a billion native animals killed each year.

So, yeah, Oceania countries will hunt and kill cats. And anyone that doesn't keep their cat inside or at least bell it's collar, is a real piece of shit. Certainly doesn't give a fuck about animals and the environment. It's a totally different part of the world to Eurasia where it's fine to just have strays all over the countryside because they're actually a part of the functioning ecosystem.

Every self professed anarchist I've come across on Lemmy has said things or expressed ideas that oppose anarchism. Cringe every time. I imagine they have pictures of V and Joker—definitely not anarchists—on their basement wall.

Even in my most troublesome situations, they are less frequent and quicker/easier to resolve than my Windows hurdles.

I've lost so much time of my life dealing with Windows breaking, blocking, being randomly fucked on basics, requiring insanely complex workarounds to keep the engine running.

Windows is definitely the harder OS. But ya don't realise it until your first drive of a Linux distro. Then it becomes clear as day and you feel like you've been cutting off your foot to spite all the bullet holes you shot into it.

Even then, 14 year old me still figured out how to recover my data from the disk after my "system crashed". Took a trip to the library to Google it and grab a list of CMD commands.

There's just no way that data is magically gone from cloud or system failure.

Soooo.... The current federal administration is a terrorist organisation.

I'm starting to think the.American.2A only exists for school shootings and the like, because it's clear no one actually exercises it as intended beyond that and personal hobbies.

It'd be healthier to leave the cheesecake out of it than have both.

SQL enjoyer?

Every time I use it I feels like I'm going back to the 90s. No variables, no functions; Oh but you can do a CTE or subquery.......👍

UNION ALL, UNION ALL, UNION ALL... "There's got to be a better way, surely..."

looks up better way

"Oh, what the fuck?!.... Nope, this will just be quicker..." UNION ALL, UNION ALL, UNION ALL...

Join in a table sharing column names... Everything breaks. You gotta put the new prefixes in front of all the headers you called in now. In every select, in every where, etc... Which is weird because that kinda works like a variable and it's fine...

"When you see this little piece of text, it means all this, got it?"

"Okay. Yep. Easy."

"So why can't you do that with expressions?"

SQL SCREAMS MANICALLY

"Okay, okay, okay!... Jesus..."

And then you try put a MAX in a where and it won't let you because you gotta pull all the maxes out in their own query, make a table, join them in, and use them like a filter...

I hate it. It has speed, when you can finally run the script, but everything up to that is so...ugh.

There's been many animal inspired hairstyles over the generations. I call these a labradoodledo.

Also, be aware that if it is debit and not credit card, it can take quite a while for the hold to come off. This isn't on the gas station, it's on how quickly your bank handles them. My bank it's around 2-3 business days, but I know some it can be up to four weeks. Granted, this is my experiences in Asia and around Europe, but wouldn't be surprised if it's the same in the US.

If you think that's the case, confirm with your bank before you using it and accidentally end up with a few hundred on your account just stuck there for a while.

"And all that pesky DEI crap, ugh! This is so much easier. Now it's just this, pride month, and saying we planted a tree for our customers to offset their consumerism; which is their fault, not our's. We honestly deserve a tax break."

Exactly 👍
